The race, in three figures
The race, in words
Joseph Taula finished 943rd of 1,587 men in the Open division at Sydney 2025, in 1:25:37.
A station race more than a running one: 53% of the field beaten on the stations, against 26% on the runs. The sandbag lunges cost the most time: 1:14 slower than the median. The race faded late: the second half went 2:48 worse against the middle of the field than the first.
Sydney ran fast: the 951 athletes who also raced elsewhere this season were about 1:48 quicker here than at their other races.
